Guests say
New Meadows Cottage in Pickering offers a quaint stay with lovely hosts and a quiet, central location ideal for exploring nearby attractions. While some guests enjoyed their stay, noting the property's charm and convenience, others felt the accommodation could benefit from modernisation and a thorough cleaning.
Reviews indicate a need for improved cleanliness, with mentions of a dirty kitchen, toilet, and dusty areas. However, one review noted the accommodation was clean, leading to a mixed assessment.
The location is consistently praised for being good, quiet, and central, with easy access to Pickering and nearby attractions such as Scarborough and Whitby.
Guests found the accommodation comfortable but noted it was dated and could be cold. The comfort level appears to be average, with room for improvement.
Facilities are described as needing renovation, particularly the kitchen. Cooking facilities are limited, and there were issues with WiFi connectivity. Maintenance appears to be a concern.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

We had a lovely few days. Yes the cottage is quite dated , 80s vibe but we knew this from the photos prior to booking. The host and her husband were really nice. Its a great spot for walking into Pickering and a few nice walks with the dog. The place could do with updating and improving the kitchen area would be great place to start. The bedroom and bathroom / en-suite are really nice.

Kitchen was dirty cupboards and general poor. Cooker was outdated and not clean. Whole kitchen needs a revamp. Toilet floor dirty, brush terrible, back toilet dirty . Overall we have never stayed at a property so neglected. Sorry we had to give a bad review, because location was good
